How it works
Individuals claiming to represent tour companies approach you at your hotel offering "last-minute tour deals." They collect payment and disappear, or arrange a pickup that never materializes. Some variants involve taking you to a money exchange first, where you lose money on rates before realizing the tour is non-existent.
